A Redistribution Of Political Forces.

The Louisville Courier-Journal,
in an article on the immediate re-
casting of the political forces of the
country, says:
In the South, as little as in the
North, can al men think alike. Yet
the sectional issue, forced by the Re-
publicans upon the South from with
out, and the race issue, fomented by
this Circumstance withinthe confines
of the Old Slave States, have COM
PEELED union Of the elements Of re-
sistance solely for the sake of self
preservation.
But the leaders Of the Republican
pert - &c North and the Republic
can press are beginning to realize
the truth OF the situation and to
change their talk. When the cure
OF their prolonged and innamed case
OF sore eyes is complete, and they
comprehend the fact that the war is
really over and that this is 1887 and
not 1867, they will find in the South
q body of white men, capable and
trained, who think with them, and
only want a white mans chance to
feel with them +
Already there are six prominent
newspapers, Democratic in name,
which, in all points, except that Of
sentiment growing out of association,
are as reliably Republican as the
Philadelphia Press. There is moth
Inc Democratic which these newspa-
pers fail to assail There is no Re
publican measure or policy which
they fail to support. They are, of
course. followers of Mr.. Randall, for
purposes OF convenience, since Mr..
Randall wears q Democratic badge :;
bat in most matters except the tariff
they are not even as reliable as Dem
ocrats as Mr. Randall is, because on
every Other issue they incline to the
Republican side of the house.
The cad Of all this is inevitable.
Just as soon as the Republican party
appears in the South as pleader for
votes, and not as a proscnptionist,
these pseudo Democrats, but real
Republicans, viii be able to effect
nominal transfer, having already
amassed q considerable actual stock
in trade of Republican ideas and as
sets. The Prohibition fanaticism
will run its course. The labor move
ment viii find its place. Then we
shall have a fair array of party forces,
each flying an honest flag and fight
ing on distinct lines, and, it is to be
hoped, no longer either a race issue
nr n sectional issue, North or South.

Another instalment Of snow yester-

the mind of the old settlers recoller-
ton Of the memorable food Of 81.

any thing lacking In this respect II
will undoubtedly be made up before
1.-THE beautiful stops falling. 1t is
generally conceded by all who have
had experience here that we will have
a flood this spring, and the majority
lean to the idea that II will be a boomer,
exceeding all previous exhibitions in
that line. While the excessive quauti-
ty OF snow is an important factor in
the question, there is an indispensable
condition that may or may not ensue
this spring; that is the gorging of the
Ice either at or above this city or be-
tween here and the mouth of Tongue
river. Without this, the channel OF
the river is sufficiently large to carry
off all the water that the snow will
make, and owing to the very mater
ial changes that have been wrought at
the mouth Of the river In the past two
or three years II Is believed there IL lit
tie danger OF a gorge there. but Is the
tortuous course of the stream affords
excellent opportunities for gor0ing
both above and below the town, II is
probable that such an event will
occur. The extraordinary thick
ness of the ice this year also favors
this conclusion. Should 1t come, Main

Heretofore the water has run through
